Sinxa POV

Is the rain usually this loud? Does it normally rip through the leaks in the ceiling? And is it always this...cold?/

I sit in my cramped dog cage, trying my best to keep quiet as the freezing drops splatter over my exposed skin. I hear Cassie and Chase bickering again.

"No, my wings are WAY nicer than YOURS. Blue is SO out of style. You would need some fine ass wings to-" I suddenly snap out of lalaland.

"What did I tell you about swearing!" I stand up and give her a quick angry look. Her eyes seem to fill up with rage. "I'll do what I want, bitch! I can say WHATEVER I want to say!" She stares me down, but with a sigh I just clomp back onto the ground. "You are impossible." And of course she heard me. Her tounge flopped out of her mouth and a rude sound escaped her lips, like the air being drained from a balloon.

"Will you two stop it! I think they're coming." Chase's words suprised me.

Instantly, we both shut up quickly. And well, sure enough, a big wolfish man walked into the dusty, concreted room and flipped on a light switch. A single, shadless bulb flickered on, casting an eerie looking light throughout the storage room.

In a gruff voice, the Eraser spoke up.

"Get OVER here!" Pacing towards me, I met his peircing glare. His glowing red eyes were pulsing with resentment.

A key clicked and the cage door opened up automatically. The ugly thing picked me up, his mated fur uncomfortable against my mostly human skin. And as I was mostly-human I writhed around in his arms, trying to escape. A did actually take a bit of his forearm, and he screamed and dropped, which was weird. Were they getting weaker? They must be.

And then it happened. I felt like I was sort of, floating. Not like flying with wings, but just floating in midair. The strange thing was that both feet were on the ground. I felt pressure under my sneakers.

I heard shout something...Ghost? It was Cassie. Cassie had shouted my name. The Eraser looked even more wildly enraged. "WHERE ARE YOU!" The thing bellowed, echoing around the room.

But I soon understood. My shoes were no longer visible when I looked down. Or the rest of my body. I had turned invisible.

Chase Ki POV

I was having a bad day before my best friend disappeared. First of all, my wing color was insulted. Then I was basically drowned by rain. Then a wolf monster cane into the room. Then POOF! The Ghost is gonzo.

But when the monster fell down, screaming, an ankle twisted in a horrible way, I was spooked. Really spooked. And then my cage door opened, as well did Cassie's.

"What the hell?" Cassie muttered under her breath. But then, Sinxa's calm voice replied, seeming from no source. "What did I tell you about swearing? Now, I thunk we should get out of here while we still can."
